I won’t be around for the next few days and below this post is a password protected post. Of course, I have mass emailed the password to all the faithful blog readers of mine yesterday.

However, if I ever missed you out or you want to read them, do send me an email at jason[dot]lioh[@]gmail[dot]com or leave me a comment. You need to introduce yourself too. I will reply you as soon as possible.

On the other hand, I have also asked Cely to be my blog’s caretaker for the mean time. If you can’t wait, you can also write an email to celyycl[@]gmail[dot]com and request for the password. Of course, you need to briefly mention who are you and where you are working or who you are working with and simple stuffs like that.

That’s about it. See you!

I needed a new slipper and I went to Jusco Malacca to get a pair.

Now, there are 1 Bata shop and 3 sections in Jusco that sell footwear.

“What’s the biggest size?”
“10.”

“Do you have anything bigger than 10?”
“No.”

“Got size 11 or 12?”
“No.”

What are the odds of 4 places not selling / having a slipper of size 12?

I ended up buying one at a sport wears shop and this slipper cost me freaking RM80!

Freaking eighty bucks! Eighty bucks! Sighs.

At least, it’s comfortable.

You don’t have to go Penang to get one of these, you know?

All you need to do is ask those bloggers who are from Penang and are studying in MMU Malacca, like Jian Yung. Best of all, he gave it to me for free although I said I would pay him back.

Jian Yung said there are two popular brands in Penang, one is Him Heang (bottom) while the other one is Ghee Hiang (top). Both are the pioneers in Tau Sar Pneah and Ghee Hiang has been around since 1856. Again, it boils down to personal favourite. The difference is that Ghee Hiang uses pork oil / lard while Him Heang uses vegetarian oil.

So, Penangites, which is the better one?

After tasting it, I think Him Heang tastes better as their green bean paste is finer and soft. As for Ghee Hiang, the paste is rather hard and it forms chunks in it but it tastes better because of the lard / pork oil.

It doesn’t matter actually, as long as I get to taste them again. Ha! Seriously, this stuff is delicious and I can finish them in less than 2 days. I remembered JiNz bought me a box and I finished them in only 36 hours.

Thanks, Jian Yung!

Giovoni’s comment : By the way, your blog needs some Livita or Red Bull or Yomeishu or DOM. LOL!

Indeed, my posts have been rather dull and boring lately. Not to mention, slow updates too!

Well, I didn’t do much during this holiday as I am practically playing, studying for exam and working at the same time. On top of that, my income from my part time job has dropped drastically since early March and I don’t have that extra cash to spend doing food reviews.

Sorry, my readers and please stay with me.

Thanks!

And feeling empty.

That’s what I am feeling now.

P/S : Photo grabbed from here.

Last Sunday, I joined my family and other friends of families to a small fishing village called Tanjung Sepat. It was a family day trip thing organized by the Rotary Club of Tampin. With a bunch of makan kakis in the club, every where they go, food is always on the priority.

Tanjung Sepat is famous for many things like seafood Bah Kut Teh, seafood dinner, mei cai rou bao 梅菜肉包, fried tapioca / crackers and etc. Hence, our first meal was none other than the famous Bah Kut Teh which were featured by many magazines and TV shows like Astro AEC”s “Taste With Jason 阿贤人情味“. It was even featured once by Ah Hoong 师奶杀手阿鸿. To top it off, it was rated as one of the top 20’s Bah Kut Teh in Malaysia, according to Guang Ming Daily.

With so many recommendations from TV shows, magazines, chefs and celebrities, one shouldn’t miss out, right?

The shop is nothing but a simple wooden shop. No fancy decoration, no air conditioner, no comfortable table and chairs and definitely no top class service. Everything is down right simple and you can even see the cook prepare your Bah Kut Teh.

As we have pre-ordered previously, our dishes were served almost immediately. I snapped a few pictures of the earlier dishes before I started eating. I don’t have the mood to write and describe the dishes. Hopefully, the pictures would be sufficient enough for you.

Due to miscommunication, the seafood Bah Kut Teh wasn’t in our menu but we were given a pot of bean curd skin in Bah Kut Teh soup and another pot of Bah Kut Teh. My first spoon was definitely their Bah Kut Teh as that’s what they are famous for. However, it was nothing but disappointment.

The soup tasted like those pre-packed Bah Kut Teh that you can get from your supermarket. It tasted rather plain and certainly didn’t have the unique pork bone’s taste, as if it was boiled for a short time. In Chinese, 不够火候 / 入味 (The soup wasn’t boil long enough to absorb the taste.). Kai Hong recommended’s Bah Kut Teh tasted far better than theirs. As for other dishes, it wasn’t even up to the “nothing-to-shout-about” level. In fact, it was below average. Their bean curd skin? Not even 1/10 of the one Boss Stewie recommended’s Bah Kut Teh.

Unless you prefer those clear and light flavoured Bah Kut Teh, else, avoid this.

My conclusion : If their Bah Kut Teh is rated as the country’s top 20 Bah Kut Teh and recommended by so many people, then, many other Bah Kut Teh stalls are waiting to be discovered or widely publicized by the media. It’s definitely not worth the money, petrol and time spent to travel all the way to Tanjung Sepat to try it.

Try at your own risk.
